private ly:version?

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hi all,

I now have a use case for ly:version? documented in
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.21/Documentation/usage/writing-code-to-support-multiple-versions

But the function is module-private in lily. The example on that page
does not compile and so doesn't any external file.

I can work around it with
#(define ly:version? (@@ (lily) ly:version?))

But I guess that is not intended?
I might change the define to define-public in 'scm/lily-library.scm'?

Naturally, patches are always welcome!

I'm not quite sure how to properly ensure a condition
is true in a regression test. Maybe just

#(if (not (ly:version? = (ly:version)))
    (ly:message "WARNING: ly:version? broken!"))

Best,
Jean

Obviously I had not realized that you have been a contributor in the past.
